Deuker, the only candidate who has pnnounced himself formally as an as pirant to the office of mayor. . It is believed candidates for other offices will favor an early primary, also. The days of the "strenuous campaign" arc draw ing nigh and It is expected that this week will see the announcement of at least one other candidate for mayor. V. Bennett Gordon,' editor of the Eve king Item, has been , considering Iris announcement for some time but has Metered taking the leap. Gordon is known to have been sounding out hla chances. He held a conference yesteray afternoon in the office of Wilfred aessup and the aubject of his probable .ndldaey was discussed- v Many reasons are advanced for an rly primary; It Is; the custom to old the primary either in April 'or ly In May. Two places will have to be filled on the city committee before 'any definite organization Is attempted. A vacancy exists In the fourth , ward, jand the. eighth ward has been create! (since the city organisation was formed. ; Only One Meeting, " ' Members of the city committee, say but one, meeting has been held. That was one. week- ago last Friday night. (At that time it was determined to wait luntll the state legislature had adjournjed to see if It would make any laws governing city primaries or abolish ', ny of the elective offices in a city of this class. The members of the present committee are: Dr. G. Ferling, ,Carl Baker, -Elarn Hill, Josua Hunt, Theodore Jreton and Peter Kuhlman. . ' A local newspaper, has printed a htory of alleged cauces held at the ofwas printed that these caucuses were attended by Alex Gornjon, Harry Penny and others, the "bone and sinew- of the toarty." Gormon has been out of the iy xor -mooui iwq weens ana tiarry Penny last night said he never had at tended any caucus held anywhere to consider anything in regard to a muni cipal political affair. '. ' A "Frame-Up" Hinted. It was averred In the printed account bat the "nomination of Henry Deuker cleverly fixed by Dr. Ferling and ther leaders of the party." Penny was among those named as attending a ."caucus" at which Deuker's nominaiCon was fixed, but Penny says he was aot there. Others in the group brandjed as "leaders could not be interviewed last night because of their absence (from home, V mi. ii j ... , m v. fet of Deuker was- laughed at as an imaginative conception entirely by Henry Deuker,' the man most concerned. - He aaid he never had attended any meeting held at "Dr. Ferling's horse hospital" and never knew of any being held. : He declared if any were held r.d. lt was proposed to "box" the deal 1- his favor he never so much-as re.ved an intimation of the project. He 'said he never , had talked to Dr. Ferling about the subject of the primary except on one occasion last week when . the two met at lodge and he asked jVerling what had been done toward 'organising the city committee. .

' SOME IT DON'T ASTONISH IT IS REMEMBERED THAT JOE WAS FIGHTING CHIEF OF FAIR BANKS AND SMITH FORCES THE LAST CAMPAIGN. Washington, March 6. The resignation of V'. S. District ' Attorney Joseph B. Keallng of Indianapolis comes as a complete surprise to the Department of Justice, but, under all the circumstances, It is not ' astonishing. Mr. Keallng was Fairbanks' campaign manager last summer. He is one of the. closest political associates and friends of the retiring vice-Prestdent and of his cousin, Delavan "Smith. Mr. Keallng was the fighting chief of the "allies" at the republican national convention last summer. -He did not give up the contest until he and his followers had been flattened out by the "steam roller." Chairman Knox and the other cometing candidates against Taft and their political advisers really gave up all hope two or three days before the convention. Keallng and the Indian men who were committed to Fairbanks fought to the last." Get a Blow Out. , Representative J.

CtRi?fava"ra ' Despite the fact that the have annually sounded the warning to persons entitled to. be exempted on ayecount of mortgages that new affidavit must be made each spring and that those of previous years wHl not apply, it appears "that a goodly number of realty owners still retain this erroneous Idea. Many also do not know that non resident property owners have the same privilege as those in the city, for the affidavit may. be made out before any notary; anywhere, if the proper facts are set forth; and 'the- affidavit then, mailed to the county auditor. This week's filing of exemption affidavits with the ceonty auditor promises to be as heavy as during the paajt week. BABY III COFFIII RETUnfIS TO LIFE Doctors Say Is Case of Sus , pended Animation.
